ArsMeteo: artistic forecast

Blog...website..art...digital art...meeting point for new current..I do not know!
ArsMeteo is a bit of everything..
I studied digital art on books @Uni...I studied it as a post avant-garde in several Biennale of Venice, but today I kind of crashed into it...how?
Working, I was browsing on the page of the International Year for Intercultural Dialog and I found a Lab with ArsMeteo project...the home is simply genial to me..a kind of semantic network of concept flying on the work..concepts which bring you to artistic works, movements, currents, tags. It could be an artistic representation of an ontology, where entities fly around connected only by semantic constrains of our minds...where everyone can follow a his personal interpretation in travelling among these concepts..:)
So...have a nice journey.. ArsMeteo!!!

Photo Diary of James Hill

Trying to work on Saturday morning, always brings you reading some news around..:P And this is how I found myself on the trace of the photographer of Between war and Peace , James Hill. Originally English, he is now living in Russia, but travelling around as NY Times photographer. His photodiary in Afghanistan war is really touching, and it brings you in discovering, as rarely happens, these womanish and mannish suffering eyes behind the net of fear.


His spots seems to be stolen in the perfect moment, in the perfect instant in which silence takes the place of the war uproar. Just a moment, a moment of humanity, of living. And in the portrait he steals even more, he steals the angry look of a young lady without Chador, he sees the detail in a crowd.


I am not an expert, I am not a photographer, I just like to write down what I feel...

Let´s call it: "illumination"

For someone is close, for someone is not :), but this exhibition on Futurism seems to be more interesting than the usual "let` s put on a wall a famous name for collecting some money selling gadgets". :P.
At MART of Rovereto is starting a new exhibition on Futurism, where more than a gallery of famous names, there should be an interesting perspective which compare Futurism with other avantgardes of the beginning of the century.
I say it should because I have not seen it, but I read this interesting editorial ( sorry, in Italian :( ) which gives a new point of view.
Every room reflects on the connection of each artistic movement that was fermenting in that period.

Photography - Message of hope

Reading NY Art magazine, I went through an interesting picture..that you can find @ NYARTMagazine. And it let my mind fly!

My work attempts to represent a borderline reality—not marginal, not nearly, but a non-conformist reality. In substance, I imagine animated and non-animated objects in a special zoo made of thoughts and words, and pictures as short existential, emotional, dream stories. I also conceive the concrete; from the leaves, to the wind, to the color of each season... the love, and, the pain… The author

Even a sunflower sometimes doesn't find a reason to look at his sun...but a warm ray is still looking for it, trying to lull it with his light...

The Family of Man

The Family Of Man





Je crois que l'exposition THE FAMILY OF MAN est un des projets les plus ambitieux et les plus audacieux jamais expérimenté en photographie.(…) THE FAMILY OF MAN a été créée dans un esprit passionné d'amour et dévoué de foi en l'homme"

W. Eugene Smith, The walk to Paradise Garden, New York 1946

The family of man..it is one of the most beautiful travel in the human being feelings I have ever done. Walking in the small rooms of the exhibition, is an unforgivable experience of beauty, and ugliness, love and war, happiness and sadness, sorrow and serenity. Walking there, surrounded by pictures from all over the world, means to walk in the feelings of men, of every man, in every part of the world. It is the evidence that men and women are looking for the same hug in life, and suffering the beauty of a birth, are escaping bomb, are playing in a field of ruins. It does not matter where you are, who you are, why you are. Big questions of life do not matter. A kiss, as well as an hug is what matters. I felt it there. I felt that real life can be more philosophically deep than everything else....

I did not give a technical sketch of the exposition, but it is impossible not to be kidnapped by it..http://www.family-of-man.public.lu/

Incipit

Hello!!!

how to start a blog...mm...I have no idea..starting is like the first line of an article...the one that you write at the end. but unfortunately this relativity of the time does not work on line, so ..i need an "incipit"... or no...no... I do not need anything..let's give up rules of writing, structure, introduction body conclusion, pyramids of content, inverted pyramid..uf....no, this is just my space, this is just the need of some thoughts to go out, and the deep wish that I have to start something new in a strange moment of my life... I feel it is the moment to express somewhere what I love...and what I love is contemporary art.... someone likes sailing, someone likes climbing, someone likes cooking...ok...I do not dislike none of them..but walking around in Moma, in Tate or in Mudam..this is what i love..
So you will think "fine..you are a critic, an expert, you studied history of art"....well...no :( I am a computational linguistic.And I know, building ontologies has nothing to do with all this!maybe this is one of the reason I decided to write down this blog... well...there are moment in your life when you feel the need to do something for yourself. I mean these kind of moments in which you feel that something/someone is missing, and you feel the need of focusing on something that makes you happy!

So, welcome in this blog...well, I hate this word, so, since literature it's not math and you do not need exact definitions, let´s call it..boh... Agora...
